Thanks, I went through the slides and then found this. Contrary to some of the other posters I actually found it kind of interesting. It sounds like this guy, at least, is thinking of a lot of the problems and questions me and my coworkers have been facing re: system startup/service config, which is cool. I didn't know who he was before, but I do now: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jordan_Hubbard http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jordan_Hubbard Co-founder of BSD, BSD Technology Manager/Director of Unix Technology for 12 years. Sounds like he has some relevant experience, I gather he was talking about the iPhone when he was discussing mobile devices, the IPC mechanism, remote debugging, etc.
